Affordable survey setup
... through the fact that the ScanFish Katria is towed at a distance which means that any type of vessel can be used without risking the survey data being affected by its magnetic signature

Try before you buy
... through the possiblity of renting the ScanFish Katria on a weekly or monthly basis

Easy deployment

The ScanFish Katria ROTV and four magnetometers are easy to deploy with an A-frame.

Deployment of the ScanFish Katria ROTV

Wide and dense coverage at a fixed height

The terrain-following operation mode of the intelligent ROTV ensures that it maintains a fixed height as close to the seabed as possible, depending on the topography. This equals high-quality data.

The horizontal array of underwater magnetometers enables you to cover a larger survey area in less time and ensures dense coverage, translating into better indication of signal strength and origin in one sweep.

The ScanFish Katria ROTV can be set to automatically follow the seabed in the ScanFish Flight software.

Components and optional extras of the ScanFish Katria package

This ScanFish Katria package combined with your own magnetometers and an number of optional extras constitute a turn-key solution

From topside unit and subsea cable termination to handling system and the possibility of mounting a pinger/beacon, Ultra-short Baseline (USBL) positioning system, or video and light, we offer you all the necessary components for an optimal magnetometer survey solution that matches your exact needs.

User-friendly control and monitoring software solution

All ScanFish models come with the ScanFish III Flight software, which is an easy-to-use software system allowing for control and monitoring of the ROTV.

Controlling the ROTV's movements in ScanFish III Flight software

Only a minimum of training is required to prepare the crew to operate the ROTV, which means you will be ready to set sail within a short period of time. Moreover, there is no risk of wasting time on difficulties resulting from a complicated software user interface.

Via the intuitive interface of ScanFish III Flight, you are in complete control of the position of the ROTV by defining its height compared to the seabed. At the same time, you can monitor its position in the water, and an alert panel will warn you of any irregularities.

ScanFish III Flight in action

On-site calibration

A pre-flight feature allows for testing and calibration of the ScanFish ROTV on-site prior to deployment, promising you the highest possible performance and data quality.

Recording of flight data

Acquired ROTV data can be analysed by means of a flight recording feature. It enables you to play back all flights and, for example, quickly locate the cause of any irregularities, thus enhancing the quality of your results and saving survey time.

Automatic control of winch

ScanFish III Flight can be set up to control the winch towing the ScanFish ROTV, thereby ensuring an optimal cable length adjusted to the movements of the ROTV. This is especially relevant for the ScanFish Konia and ScanFish Rocio models.

Robust product with a long service life

Quality materials and easily replaced wear parts characterise the ScanFish III range and contribute to a high ROI through a long service life

The practical design of the ScanFish III models makes them so robust that they can be deployed in rough weather. This saves time as the risk of downtime is vastly reduced. Two side plates with bars, which also function as handles, protect the body and facilitate handling, thus reducing the risks posed to the ROTV in the water and ensuring the safety of the crew during deployment and recovery.
